Tips, tricks, and tools

Grow on and off YouTube

When YouTube fans get behind the music they love, it opens doors on and off
YouTube.

Charts

It’s no surprise online music trends influence the offline world. That's
why music charts like Billboard’s Hot 100 factor YouTube views into
rankings, whether those views come from official music videos or fans using
music that’s been claimed through Content ID.

YouTube Spaces

Access our state-of-the-art studios, built especially for artists and
creators to shoot videos, stream live shows, and collaborate with the most
creative people making it today.

YouTube Music Awards

The YTMAs are back in 2015—celebrating the most loved, most creative and
most inspired artists today with new music, new videos and new
collaborations. Visit the awards channel for all the latest info.

Radio

In addition to using YouTube, many artists reach fans and get discovered by
having their music played on the radio. That’s why we’ve partnered with
SiriusXM to create the ‘YouTube 15’ and the ‘YouTube EDM 15’, which feature
trending tracks from our hottest emerging artists and established artists.
Make enough noise on your channel and you could hear your songs on the air.
